who gives a sh*t anymore?

[dfw gen]

its pretty clear qa coming off the b checks, the changes going on in maintenance that no one really cares anymore. 25 years ago it was a different airline people cared now screw it its a job show up do your 8 and skate.

Over the years working for an airline has gone from the mentality of looking for ways to do your job better for the airline, to saying screw it. It seems like every time you try to help, they cut something, so most people have given up.

Its basically the same as working at a 7/11, only the pay is slightly better. Nursing grads come out of school and get paid the same or better,  meanwhile I have been toiling for 27+ years out here on holidays weekends , nights, its a crap job.

I remember once getting on a 727 that was fresh out of TUL and it looked brand new. In fact the dock was so proud of their work they painted the dock number in back by the air stairs. Their work was impressive.

And the TWU gave profit sharing away for a pay raise. WOW what a deal. I see many profitable quarters in the future and all we have to be proud of is our one time 4.8% pay raise.

 

[dfw gen]

4.3% dont give these clowns too much credit.

US Passenger Service Agents still have profit sharing in their contract. Who knows what your agents will do.If they kill it for US agents they will be in the same boat

[SIZE=10.5pt]Coming on here and telling each other how much it has gone downhill is a nonproductive waste of time. The people on here already know. If you’re going to tell someone tell the youths going to school to be airline mechanics. [/SIZE]

Do not forget the TWU gets nothing from your profit sharing check,
since your monthly dues are based on your hourly wage, guess who
also got a raise? A profit sharing plan can be a great way a company
can reward its employees and show appreciation for all they do, especially 
when they are working under concessionary contracts. it should never have
been included in contracts just like healthcare plans, its a way a company
can prove it appreciates you. At  AA it is just a tool to create animosity between
the work groups, I understand a guaranteed amount in a paycheck is smart
but tell that to the guy who reads in the paper of profit sharing checks handed
out, those few extra bucks each week in his paycheck don't seem so smart.

I think they already know. Look at the numbers coming out of A&P schools and how many are getting their ratings.

 

[DNTULSA]

Get rid of the twu!
 
There is no way that AMFA could be worse! (unless you allow the same guys to hold AMFA union positions who used to hold twu positions)

A reality check would not hurt.
